Clearlake home lost in blaze

CLEARLAKE -- The silhouette of a double-wide mobile home glowed a red-orange between smoke clouds as fire consumed the residence Sunday night in the area of 31st and Boyles avenues.

It was declared a total loss, Lake County Fire Protection District (LCFPD) Batallion Chief George Murch said Tuesday during a phone interview.

Five fire engines, a water tender and a rescue truck from CAL FIRE, LCFPD and Lakeport Fire Protection District responded to the scene at approximately 11:15 p.m. About 20 firefighters and 10 volunteers fought the blaze for 30 minutes until it was contained.

There were no injuries reported, Murch said, but two homes that were near the fire sustained exposure damage.
